Stroke of Fortune (2002)
“Flynt went in alone and came out with a brown paper bag. Josie knew what it contained. And she knew what he was thinking, that he’d see to it there was no chance she’d end up pregnant this time around.
When he got back in the car, he leaned across the console and kissed her. Then he looked at her, a probing kind of look. She waited for him to ask the question he’d promised he wouldn’t ask again.
But then he only gave her a tender smile, moved back behind the wheel and started up the car.

She propped the note against the saltshaker on the kitchen table.
They returned to the ranch, where they found Grace asleep in the rocker in Lena’s room, a novel open on her lap, a small lamp still lit beside her, her reading glasses slipping down her nose.MoreLess
